Want to get 33's but don't know what the would look like and how they would fit with a 2" lift

 

my pic under my name is 32x11.5 with no lift or anything, they rubbed a little bit so if your going 33's id recommend a lift, hopefully someone will help a lot more than I can.

 

Thanks It did help me quite a bit. I just bought 15x10 Chevy rims and can't decide whether to put 33's or stick with 31's but I would have to buy wider ones to fit on the new rims

 

31's will run better on the road, but if you got those wheels man you should get the 33's on it,

I wish I had 10" rims I think mine or 8 or 9 I don't remember

when I put the 32's on the stock rims, I had to cut some of my lower bumber and hammer up the pinch weld's behind the front tires and they rub alittle still, so if you run a 2 inch lift I think yull be ok,

good luck man

 

A 33x10.5 tire will fit on factory rims or 15x8" rim w/ 3.75" backspacing without any mods.

With a 2" lift and rims with the correct backspacing, you should have no issues fitting a 33x12.5 tire. If anything, you might have to do some minor trimming/hammering, but I doubt it. A 15x8" rim w/ 3.75" backspacing is ideal. I'd recommend the 33x10.5 over the 33x12.5, just because of the better handling on the streets. However, they're a bit harder to find.

I would not put a 31x10.5" tire on a 10" wide rim. Most recommend an 8" or smaller rim width for that size tire. Also, with a 10" wide rim, you can't air down the tire as much for better traction (even with a 33x12.5 tire). Unless you buy from Interco, you will not find a 31" tire that's wider than 10.5".

I have a 1.5" lift with 32" tires on 15x10" rims w/ 4" backspacing. My tires rub the fenders almost at full lock. I did not have to trim my valance. If I had rims with the right backspacing, I could easily fit a 33x12.5 tire. Click on my build thread to see pics of my truck.

I bought my rims from a guy who had them on a chevy truck, so I'd assume yours have the same backspacing.


EDIT: Remember, if you go with 33s, you will need to regear.

 

I knew somebody would chime in with some good technical numbers.

 

Ok wow that helped alot! You got me thinking about 32's now and after seeing the fit ment on your build thread I think that's a better option, but would I still have to regear if I had 32's?

 

Anyone know if 32x11.50 tires will rub with a 4" lift on a 93 pickup? I'm trying to find tires but I'm not sure how wide I can go.

 

here's my 32x11.5x15's on a 5" lift, and they don't rub at all. but make sure your wheels have enough offset or else you will rub the tie-rod and I have stock gears,



a buddy of mine had 33's and a 4" lift and they fit nicely, and ran fine, slower than stock tires but not obscenely so

 

You obviously didn't read my post...

This thread went downhill really quick

 

I have the 3.0L V6 with the factory 4.30 gears and it is a bit sluggish. I have 4.88 gears ready to go in if I ever go to 33s. But for 32s, 4.30 gears are bearable. I'd say if you have like 4.10 gears or the 22r-e engine, you'll want to regear. And if you do regear, you might as well just go up to 33" tires. If you have factory 4.56 gears or 4.88 gears, you're good to go.

 

I have an 88' with stock gears so I believe their 4.88

 

Not a pickup but same body/suspension, etc. 2" lift with 33x12.50's Chevy wheels so the backspacing was crazy. Only rubbed a slight bit on full stuff and full lock. The lift was BJ spacers up front and add a leafs in the rear.

I have a lot of pictures so if you want more just ask.

 

Ok 33's with a 2" lift aren't as bad as I though! Please post more pics and I'm assuming you have a 10 " wide rim, how far do the tires stick past your fenders ?

 

I sold this 4Runner in September of last year but let's see what I can remember. The tires stuck out far due to the wheels being the correct offset for a Chevy not a Toyota. They are 10" wide wheels. Let's see what other pics I can dig up.









This is about full flex

 

I have reason to believe you don't have 4.88 gears from the factory. Factory 4.88 gears are rare and they mainly came in 2nd gen 3.0L automatic 4Runners. It's best to check your door code

Oh, and I also found this. It's about 33" tires with minimal lift: http://brian894x4.com/33INCHTIRES.html

I didn't read all of it since I'm at work, but there is some good info.

 

Here's my 92 with a 2" body lift 33 10.50 on stock rims

 

Oh and for gearing I have 4.56 gears. (Truck started out as a 3.0 auto now is a 5 speed 3.4) power is no issues here

 

This is my 93 with 285/75r16 kinda like a 33 11.50 on 16x8 rims not sure of the offset.
No lift

 

93 with 2" OME lift - Dakar leafs, BJ spacers, stock shackles and stock tbars.
33x12.5x15 Toyos on 15x8-3.75" wheels. 22re/5spd/4.88s
Minor front bumper trim and trim/pound pinch weld.
No swaybar and no rubbing at full lock/full compression except slightly in rear due to extra articulation from triangulated shocks, stock length shackles and no bump stops.
Sits level at 22.5" from center of axle to bottom of fender lip f/r.

Stance is perfect IMO with just enough room to clear everything with minimal lifting. Tires stick out past fenders around 1-2" and have maybe 3/8" between upper control arms. I would personally NOT do 10" wide wheel unless has a much taller or much wider tire or risk wheel damage, decreased turn radius, more leverage on axles, and sticking out like 3" on each side. Also the sidewall and wheel surface would be close to flush so risk easier popping of bead on trail besides scraping that wheel to hell. 12.5" is perfect on a 8-9" wide wheel and is what most manufacturers recommend for their products. 12.5" tires easier to find in stock everywhere too.
